He got an all girl orchestra and when he says; "Strike up the band," they hit it
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
Then she says, "I know you're an artist, draw a picture of me!"; I say, "I would if I could, but, ; I don't do sketches from memory."
The walls of pride are high and wide; Can't see over to the other side; It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay; It's sadder still, to feel your heart torn away
Your magnetic movements; Still capture the minutes I'm in.
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
As the last fire truck from hell; Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
And the words that are used; For to get the ship confused; Will not be understood as they're spoken.
It's many a guard; That stands around smilin',; Holdin' his club; Like he was a king.
People disagreeing everywhere you look,; Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
I'm already there in my mind; And that's good enough for now
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere; Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
I finally realize there's no room for regret
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
I'm T-boned and punctured; But I'm known to be calm
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.; What can I do for You?
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?
Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame; I never did see no fire that could put out a flame.
When we meet again; Introduced as friends; Please don't let on that you knew me when; I was hungry and it was your world.
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
I'd never say; That I done it the way; That you'd have liked me to.
The night is pitch black, come an' make my; Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
Can't you make any sound?
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink; Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
Have you got some unfinished business?; Is there something holding you back?; Are you thinking for yourself; Or are you following the pack?
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain; You give something up for everything you gain
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,; Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
This wheel shall explode!
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
Lost time is not found again
Does she know I still care?
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
I wish that for just one time; You could stand inside my shoes; You'd know what a drag it is; To see you
Can't you hear that motor turnin'?; Automobile comin' into style
When the last rays of daylight go down; Buddy, you'll roll no more; I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard; I wonder who they're ringing for
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
When I met you, baby,; You didn't show no visible scars.
I must be guilty of something,; You just whisper it into my ear.
For the loser now; Will be later to win
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
